Summary:

Apollo tries to convince Hermes to go to sleep. It doesn't work, but Hermes isn't awake anymore, so... close enough?

Work Text:

“Hermes, you need to sleep,” Apollo insists.

“I’m fine,” Hermes mumbles.

Apollo just looks at him pointedly. “You’re usually better at lying than this,” he says sarcastically.

“I’m not–”

“Sleep.”

“But I’m not tired!”

“You’re yawning.”

“No I’m not,” he says through a yawn.

“Yes you are! You’re literally yawning right now!”

“Am not.”

“Are too. Sleep.”

“I’m not tired, how many times do I need to tell you? I’m so awake.”

“Hermes. Sleep. Now.”

He mumbles something I can’t make out.

“What?”

“Don’t wanna.”

“Don’t care. Sleep.”

“No,” Hermes says.

He then proceeds to pass out.

“Well. That works.”
